voting question
I have a mail in ballot, and am not sure who to vote for on a few things. Is it acceptable to leave certain questions and issues blank with no response? Or will this make my ballot void??
You'd (we'd) be better off looking up those issues and making an informed choice.
I had to do quite a bit of research on most of the judges and the University regents for my ballot, but almost all of the judges got retained.

You may choose to vote in as many or as few races as you choose. If your only vote is to remove a judge, that is a legitimate ballot. (It's probably legitimate to send in a blank ballot too)
This is not correct I believe it has to be completely filled out. If you were being sarcastic I apologize for correcting this.
So anyone has any info on the judges? I am too lazy to google them all.
I leaned heavily on http://www.clearthebenchcolorado.org/evaluations-2012/ for mine, at least for the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
Basically, I look at two things with appellate judges: guns and TABOR. (And whether they just follow the damn law in general instead of trying to make the law).
With the county and district judges, the best I can think of is to google them and see who's bitching about them and why.
I don't bother with the Blue Book. It's all boilerplate with nothing terribly useful.
One other thing to remember about the judges: If one is not retained, his replacement will be appointed by the sitting governor. That's Howdy Doody Hickenloser for at least another two years. Just like Antonin Scalia is likely to retire from SCOTUS in the next four years, and who would you like to appoint his replacement?
That's insane. You're arguing that if someone doesn't fill in one of the judge removal ones, their vote for president doesn't count?
Explain how the vote totals in each race don't exactly match then.
I am just going off of what mine said in the instructions, which stated that it all had to be filled out or it would not count.
